Our server gave us so much attention and made the experience feel personal. Since it was our first time there, they took the time to walk us through some of the best items on and off the menu, and shared their favorite dishes. Everything was done with care. The restaurant was clean, the bathroom was amazing, and the food was worth every dollar. The short rib was so tender, and the New York strip was seasoned to perfection and cooked medium well just how we like it. The twice-baked potato loaded with bacon, sour cream, chives, and cheese was delicious, and the mac and cheese was so good. I also appreciated that they allowed me to order it without the roasted saltine crackers. I can't wait to visit again!

This is my second time here and both times have been so good. We came as a party of 3 and left so happy and full. I love Mexican food holy moly We got the queso and octopus shrimp ceviche as starters. The queso was 3 cheeses: American, cotija, and Oaxacan. They heated it up under a salamander so it was nice and crispy on top, while being gooey all throughout. Also came with a couple of nice salsas. The ceviche was not my favorite because I don't prefer raw(ish) octopus, but the squid ink sauce was very flavorful. For our mains the 3 of us shared the red snapper, tuetano with lamb, and the mixteco poblano pepper. Red snapper had a nice charred smoky flavor from being grilled. Was more meaty than flaky in texture. It was our second time getting the mixteco poblano pepper and it hits. Highly recommend eating with some of the salsa as well if you get queso. The duck carnitas in it wasn't particularly duck-y today, but still very good. Best dish is definitely the tuetano. The bone marrow is so incredibly flavorful with the blue corn tortillas. Add some of the pickled onions and it's hard to go wrong with that flavor combo of salt, fat, and acid. if you're going to order one thing, I'd order this and share with a friend and tbh it's enough to be filling. For dessert we got the volcan de chocolate (basically lava cake). The lava cake and coconut ice cream combo is fantastic. You get bits of coconut flakes as you eat! Fair warning it isn't the brownie texture you may be used to, it's a bit more cakey. Amazing service the whole night! Almost got our cars booted because we forgot to validate until 1.5 hours in but luckily we were fine. The staff let us know they have been booting cars though so be wary!

We kicked things off with a couple of incredible Mezcal cocktails that were perfectly balanced and full of flavor. For lunch, we ordered the ribeye tacos and the chicken with mole sauce, and both dishes were outstanding. The ribeye tacos were tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, while the mole sauce on the chicken was rich, authentic, and unforgettable. A huge shout-out to our server, Oscar, who made the entire experience even better. He was attentive, personable, knowledgeable about the menu, and provided the kind of service that keeps you coming back. The ambiance deserves just as much praise. The music, décor, and overall atmosphere created a sophisticated, grown-and-sexy vibe that made it perfect for a relaxed date lunch. It's one of those places where you can enjoy amazing food, great cocktails, and simply take your time. Casi Cielo has definitely earned a spot on our list of favorite restaurants. We can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu. Highly recommend!

Making reservations is really simple via OpenTable. They have Valley parking which cost around eight dollars, but there is also a parking garage where you can pay by the hour.

For our appetizers we got my favorite the shrimp à la Plancha, but I did notice that the bread that comes with the dish has gotten significantly smaller. For dinner we had the fingerling potatoes, which I was not a fan of. They were pretty hard.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the enchanting atmosphere at Batsí, and it's safe to say that this hidden gem lives up to its reputation as a destination for both visual and culinary delights. Our server was amazing, I'm surprised to see other reviews complaining about service as ours went out of her way to make sure we had a great time. The location itself is a testament to the concept of dining as an experience. Batsí boasts a beautiful setting that captivates from the moment you arrive, setting the stage for an evening of sophistication and elegance. The highlight of the night was undoubtedly the stunning dancers who graced the venue. Their grace and beauty added an extra layer to the already enchanting ambience. It's clear that Batsí goes the extra mile to curate an immersive and visually captivating dining experience. Now, onto the culinary delights. I had the pleasure of savoring the Lobster & Scallop Risotto, and it was nothing short of perfection. The dish showcased a meticulous balance of flavors, and the lobster and scallops were cooked to perfection. Each bite was a symphony of taste, leaving me thoroughly impressed with the culinary prowess of the chefs. Batsí proves to be a versatile venue, suitable for various occasions. Whether you're planning a romantic date or celebrating a birthday with family or friends, the ambiance effortlessly accommodates different settings. The combination of elegance and warmth makes it an ideal spot for creating lasting memories. It's worth noting that Batsí maintains a reasonable dress code, ensuring that the crowd exudes class and contributes to the overall refined atmosphere. This touch adds an extra layer of sophistication to the dining experience, creating a space where guests can enjoy a meal in an environment that values both style and substance. Batsí is more than just a restaurant--it's an immersive experience that engages the senses and elevates the concept of fine dining. If you're in search of a venue that seamlessly combines beauty, culinary excellence, and a touch of class, Batsí is the place to be. read more

My overall experience at Batsi was enjoyable, thanks in large part to the vibrant ambiance and excellent service provided by your staff. However, I must bring to your attention a slight issue I encountered with the food. I had ordered the North Atlantic salmon cooked medium with grits, expecting a delightful culinary experience. While the exterior of the salmon was cooked to perfection, I was disappointed to find that the inside was still raw upon cutting into it. Nevertheless, I appreciated the swift action taken by your team to rectify the situation, allowing me to exchange the dish for the lobster egg rolls, which were absolutely delicious. As someone who holds Batsi in high regard, I believe that such mistakes should not occur in a restaurant of your caliber. However, I am pleased to note that the outstanding service provided helped mitigate any dissatisfaction I may have felt regarding the culinary oversight. Despite this minor setback, I remain a fan of Batsi and will continue to recommend it as a hot spot in Atlanta. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to future visits. read more

I recently visited Batsi on a Wednesday and while the ambiance was nice, the atmosphere was unfortunately quite dead with barely anyone around. Despite the lively TikTok videos that may suggest otherwise, the vibe was underwhelming. The drinks were decent, and the lobster rolls were just okay--not anything particularly memorable. I didn't end up staying for dinner, as the experience didn't quite meet expectations. Maybe weekends offer a different energy, but on a weekday, it left a lot to be desired. read more

Yes, THAT Brandy lol) made with Stella Rosa. I don't think there was anything particularly standout about the drinks, but they have them and a full bar. They are also fairly reasonably priced, so I'm not about to argue with that! 4/5 Final Verdict 3.5/5 Lord Wellington Approved-ish. Would I visit this place again? Sure. Are there other places closer (ITP) where you can get the same experience, negating the need to come here? Sure. If I'm already in the area or plan to be in the area, I'd pull up. But if I'm sitting at home on my couch, it would be a tough-er sell to get me to go. Pro-Tip: Tuesday R&B Bingo is a good time, and of course, there is hookah because Atlanta

After reading some of the reviews I was actually a little concerned, but after double checking them I saw the vast majority of the negative ones were from like 3 years ago. It wasn't overly loud or way too crowded at 7pm on a Friday, and they didn't require $20 to make a reservation online. And allow me to respond to the two most common complaints in recent reviews -- that it was too expensive and how they include an 18% gratuity for everyone regardless of party size -- First, where else in Midtown you can get an excellent shortrib for only $25? And where everything outside of the seafood and the lamb chops is under $30? And where half a dozen other meals (including salads, which looked amazing! I almost ordered one instead of the shortrib) are under $20? Too expensive?! Seriously?! Second, the automatic gratuity saved me 2% since I usually tip 20% for good service and I didn't feel the need to add 2% since they were already charging me. (My apologies to our waitress!). I bet they started including the gratuity when too many people were stiffing them because everything was so "expensive"!

Our server was great when she came to our table, but everything was a 20 minute plus wait. After we got our appetizers we had to wait about another 20-25 minutes for plates and silverware after asking two times. We were told they were washing the dishes. We finally just went on ahead and ate the food with no plates because we were tired of waiting. Luckily, it was the Lobster Deviled eggs and they were delicious. I ordered the Island Breeze cocktail. It was very good, but I was a little disappointed that it had no garnish. I personally like my drinks to be dressed up with some type of garnish. Also, my fiancé ordered a sweet tea. It was nothing but sweet water. We told the server this and she said she was sorry because she wasn't good at making tea but would remake it. The remake was a little browner but still did not look or taste like tea. Now back to the service, they really need to work on that. I saw one couple get up and leave because no one came to service them for a long time. For my entree, I ordered the Catfish and Grits. Amazing!!! It was seasoned perfectly and the catfish had a great crunch. The grits are good. The remoulade on my catfish and grits was pretty tasty. I've definitely had better but it was good. My friend ordered the Salmon BLT. She said it was great. It definitely looked good. The bacon on it looked substantial and thick. My fiancé ordered the chicken and waffles. She said it was amazing. The waffle was prepared exactly how she likes it. I tasted the waffle and it was good. It had a bit of a crisp to it but the internal was very tender. I also ordered the Grilled Corn Ribs. Oooh weee they make you wanna call on Jesus. They were so juicy! They had this Parmesan like seasoning on it. I also had the red velvet cake and it was super moist. Just a wonderful, good flavor. All in all, the food was amazing. Our server, who I learned at the end, was also the manager, had great energy, and was very friendly and polite when she came to our table. However, the service is horrible. We asked four times for our ticket before finally getting up and walking to the bar and paying. Additionally, I feel like the place could use a little refresh. The decor is basic. The sound system was horrible and the ceiling was missing a couple of tiles. Also, there is this step down that needs to have a yellow stripe or something to let people know there is a step down. The entire floor is black. My friend said she almost didn't notice it and could have fallen. There is a $200 dollar private VIP room in the back but you get nothing with it, just privacy. No bottle service! That's a bit much. So, do I recommend Sweet Auburn Brunch??? Maybe, if you have nothing but time on your hands, sure! But if you got something to do, this ain't the spot for you.

I also ordered the Southern plate with fried chicken, collard greens, and yams. I really appreciated that they don't use pork in the greens. They use smoked turkey, and they were seasoned perfectly. The yams tasted homemade, not overly sweet, and the fried chicken had a crispy, well-seasoned crust with juicy meat inside. The creamy grits and fried catfish were another standout.

Now when the sun went down the music got crunk and the younger crowd started to pour in. It was a bit loud for the 45 up foks, but at least it was good R&B so we adapted.

Landed on the chicken tenders which were pretty typical but was offered a tasty coco cola bbq sauce that made the visit even better! It's a small space so I imagine on a busy night it can feel way more crowded, but there is a large outdoor patio for extra seating. My only regret is not dabbling in the ice cream bar. Guess I need to go back!

We ordered a couple of the vegetarian dishes--they were on the smaller side and tended to fall apart easily, but the flavors were really good. A bit overpriced for the portion size, but still solid eats. The space itself is a little tight, but it has a cute, cozy vibe. We also tried their gelato, which was a nice finish--simple but very good. Overall, a decent spot for a quick bite before a show. 3.7 for me

Free bbq... free hookah (until 6pm) and happy hour drinks all day... I have seen their other specials... BUT hookah for taxes+tip... vs $50 everywhere else... BLOOD OF JESUS! Talmbou INNIIIT... I sat at the bar... I find you get the best service face to face and have more understanding when watching someone work as to their level of busy... So I was taken care of. Chris, the bartender looked out. I waited until 5:50 to order bbq and everything was gone... LOl BUT CHRIS popped out w the GLIZZY at 6:06! lol Thanks Chris. 4 out of 5 just because I don't think you all knew how much rizz was coming behind that hookah special because it was taking foreverrrr.

I wasn't overly impressed with this place, save for one major perk: they validate parking in a…read moresecure garage, which is a lifesaver given the heavy traffic congestion just to get down here. A friend recommended this new spot because they offer $1.50 oysters and other happy hour specials on Thursdays. There were four of us in our party. While I didn't partake in the oysters, my group ordered them plate after plate and genuinely loved them. Our server (whose name escapes me) seemed overwhelmed. She took our drink orders, and despite the hefty $17 price tag, I ordered off the specialty cocktail menu. I chose the lychee spiked lemonade, but it tasted exclusively like sweet lemonade with zero alcohol......plus, it was the skinniest drink I've ever seen in my life. For my main, I ordered the honey-glazed lamb chops cooked medium. Three chops came out: one was very large and undercooked (more like medium-rare), which wasn't to my liking, though the flavor itself was good. The other two were cooked well-done, but by that point, we had already waited long enough for our drinks and food. The meal came with mashed potatoes, which were pretty decent, alongside a very underwhelming portion of broccoli. The vibe and atmosphere were nice, but I'm not sure I'd return. That said, it definitely seems like a great spot for oyster lovers.

Went there for a late lunch. I reserved for 3:15pm hoping that the dinner menu would be available,…read moreonly to find that the restuarant only served bar food at that time. Moreover, only the rooftop was open even if the reservation on Opentable has the "standard seating" option. So I got a veggie flatbread with chicken. The flatbread is large and had lots of toppings. Taste was good. Service could be improved. First, the reception desk was not near the entrance of the restaurant, but instead there was a cafe next to the entrance. So it took me a while to find it even after I entered the restaurant. No one in the restaurant asked me if I was looking for something. Second, the restaurant (intended to) charge mandatory 20% tips but this was not written on the menu. When I pointed out the problem at check, my server was very unhappy about that, even though this was the restaurant's fault. Luckily, the manager took it off from my bill. Since it is a newly opened restaurant, I still give it 4 stars. Hope everything would become better.

There was a live guitarist whose music added a really nice touch, and the ambiance overall was warm, stylish, and inviting. I had the Blue Jasmine cocktail which was delicious. We tried 4 dishes that were 10/10. We wanted to try more but were too full so will definitely be back. Service was very attentive and fantastic
